Bigger mirrors?
Hey guys! I have the little round mirrors on the burb now, absolutely not fond of them. Does anyone know where I can get bigger mirrors without running those tripod mirrors?
Thanks, Jeff Posted via Mobile Device |

Re: Bigger mirrors?
I think just about any of the vendors carry those.
LMC for sure, but check with the board vendors for a better deal. I have the stainless square mirrors on my burb, and they suit me just fine for what I use my burb for.

Re: Bigger mirrors?
There are the round mirrors off a bigger trucks in the 1990's (Topkick) they are covex to give a wider view but are the same size as the OEM mirror on the 67-72. I used those on my passenger side when one of the round mirrors swivel came loose. I have since switch to the rectanglular mirrors and love them.

Re: Bigger mirrors?
Hey Vectorit, I love the size of your mirrors. Where did you get them?

Re: Bigger mirrors?
I bought those mirrors many years ago, and I got them from Golden State Truck Parts when they were still in SoCal. Now they are in Carson City NV.
http://www.gspp.com/ They are the larger rectangle mirrors that came stock on our trucks back then, and I am pretty sure you could find them from most of the vendors.

Re: Bigger mirrors?
Cool! Thanks for the website. What are the measurements of them so I know I'm buying the same ones?

Re: Bigger mirrors?
i actually think i like the big rig-west coast mirrors Vectorit use to have on his burb better than what he is running now. but function take a back to seat to aesthetics these days.
i like the tripod mirrors the best on a 71-72 and so i'm going that route with my 72 burb. but the 5x7 square mirrors on the single stalk in 67-69 look pretty slick and should provide reasonable visibility. they shared the same mounting pattern as a round pair of the same vintage.

Re: Bigger mirrors?
I don't think so. But the 5.5" X 7.5" will if you have original mirrors on it. I have the 5.5" X 7.5" rectangler on mine and they work good me.
